Bob Seger

Jan would climb up so high on the foul screen
Down below I would yell to watch out
When wed play ? was always the winner
He was brave never listened to me shout
Afternoons playin ball by the old wall
Hidin out and of course be the star
Kept my records in old looseleaf notebooks
And today I think I still know where they are
Oh, Railroad days
Railroad days
Railroad days
When I was young, in my prime
On my way
When the rain never got in my way
oh in my younger railroad days
Some nights, Drifters playin on the hi-fi
Talkin bout girls, or preposterous lies
Laughin hard, watchin Soupy at eleven
Skonkin down, one of Moms lemon pies
Ten oclock, bringin groceries from the market
Singin songs, to the darkness of the night
Even sang the parts the instruments were playing
Life was freer, dreams were really quite all right
Oh, Railroad days
Railroad days
Railroad days
When the sun seemed to smile on its way
When the darkness was easier to play yeah
oh in my younger railroad days
Yesterday, I heard they shut the trains down
The ones than ran, by the field where I would play
Said the folks want new and faster transportation
Its just like me, Ill be obsolete one day
Oh, Railroad days
Railroad days
Railroad days
When I was young, in my prime
On my way
When the rain never got in my way
oh in my younger railroad days
[ Railroad Days Lyrics ]
